Couldwell, William T. | Comment on Kitano, M., et al.: Subdural patch graft technique for watertight closure of large dural defects in extended transsphenoidal surgery | Ahn and Kim demonstrate a suturing technique to close dural defects after transsphenoidal and extended transsphenoidal approaches. The technique entails a specifically designed forceps to cinch the knot down in the depths of the field. The Author's used the technique in 21 consecutive patients (16 e... | Transsphenoidal surgery; CSF leaks | 2009 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Simon, Tamara Danielle | Infection rates following initial cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement across pediatric hospitals in the United States | Object. Reported rates of CSF shunt infection vary widely across studies. The study objective was to determine the CSF shunt infection rates after initial shunt placement at multiple US pediatric hospitals. The authors hypothesized that infection rates between hospitals would vary widely even after ... | Shunt placement; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2009 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Magnesium efficacy in a rat spinal cord injury model | Object. Magnesium has been shown to have neuroprotective properties in short-term spinal cord injury (SCI) studies. The authors evaluated the efficacy of magnesium, methylprednisolone, and magnesium plus methylprednisolone in a rat SCI model. Methods. A moderate-to-severe SCI was produced at T9-10 ... | Methylprednisolone; Spinal cord injury; Rat model | 2009 |

Couldwell, William T.; Harnsberger, H. Ric | Oronasopharyngeal chordomas | Background: Chordomas are rare tumors derived from notochordal remnants. The authors report on a series of three cases of primary familial oronasopharyngeal chordomas treated at our institution. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed of the three cases of primary familial oronasopharyng... | Oronasopharyngeal; Chordoma; Pharynx; Notochord; Transoral; Skull base | 2009 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Thoracolumbar spine trauma classification: the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score system and case examples | Object. The aim of this study was to review the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) and to demonstrate its application through a series of spine trauma cases. Methods. The Spine Trauma Study Group collaborated to create and report the TLICS system. The TLICS system is re... | Thoracolumbar spine trauma; Classification; Thoracolumbar injury; TLICS; Spine Trauma Study Group; Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score | 2009 |

Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S. | Timing and influence of MRI on the management of patients with cervical facet dislocations remains highly variable: a survey of members of the Spine Trauma Study Group | Background: Traumatic cervical facet dislocations are potentially devastating injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent means of assessing ligamentous disruption, disk herniation, and compression of the neural elements. However, despite an improved understanding of these facet dislo... | Cervical facet dislocations; MRI; Spine Trauma Study Group | 2009 |

Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S. | Utility of helical computed tomography in differentiating unilateraland bilateral facet dislocations | Objective: Diagnosis of cervical facet dislocation is difficult when relying on plain radiographs alone. This study evaluates the interobserver reliability of helical computed tomography (CT) in the assessment of cervical translational injuries, correlates the radiographic diagnosis with intraoper... | Facet dislocations; Helical computed tomography; Spinal trauma | 2009 |
